Thoughts on Don Novak

Just got some bad news. Don Novak, one of the great guys in the remodeling industry, passed away this morning. Don had been battling cancer for years, but stayed positive throughout.

Don was a past chairman of the NAHB Remodelers, 2002 NAHB Remodeler of the Year, a member of Remodeling magazine's Big 50 and recipient of a number of other awards over the years.

He was always willing to share information and his experience. The industry will certainly miss him.
